SimpleTexting covers what most small businesses need from text marketing and keeps the setup short. The entry plan costs $29 per month for 500 credits, and paying yearly cuts the price by 20%. Every paid plan includes mass texting, two-way conversations with free incoming replies, auto-replies, drip campaigns, MMS, unlimited contacts and keywords, opt-in forms, segments and three user seats, so there is no feature gate to plan around. Unused credits roll over, which helps seasonal senders. SimpleTexting can text-enable an existing landline or toll-free number, and support runs seven days a week by phone, text, chat and email. The costs to watch are add-ons: a local number is $10 per month plus a $4 activation fee, each extra teammate is $20 per month, and carrier fees average about $0.0025 per US message on top. Shops that need deep ecommerce flows tied to store data will get more from Postscript or Klaviyo.
